Xray : Is there a way to run selective tests on xray with Jenkins ?

[Akash Singh]

I have two questions.

1. How to run selective tests on xray with jenkins. Let's say I have 5 test cases to run in regression. Is there any way to select those 5 tests in a test execution and trigger a job on jenkins and get the results back. While getting the results back from jenkins, what i saw was new task was created rather than updating the existing test case when run for the first time

2. If I have a manual test case, how can I convert it into automated test and connect it with a unit test so that i can run it with jenkins ?

Hi @Akash Singh 

regarding your first question:

There are different ways of organizing tests. One of them (and in your case I would suggest this one) are Test Sets

https://docs.getxray.app/display/XRAYCLOUD/Test+Set

You could eg. create a Test Set as a container for regressions test cases and create a Test Execution from that Test Set.

As far as I know to there need to be a special naming convention in the unit test case to map to an existing test case. The test case furthermore needs to be of type "generic". see details here:

https://docs.getxray.app/display/XRAY760/Import+Execution+Results+-+REST#ImportExecutionResultsREST-HowresultsaremappedtoTestentities

This should also answer your 2. question.

Please let us know if there are any further questions.
